Shaun Livingston has called it quits in his career, but it will take a while before the tributes for his incredible career stop. One of the latest players to pay tribute to his career is Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley.
Beverley gave tribute to the point guard who became an important player for the Golden State Warriors' dynastic run. Bev took to Twitter in order to honor Liv for his legacy:

Livingston started his career with the Clippers as the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. However, he suffered a gruesome knee injury in 2007 that kept him out of the league for a full season.
Livingston struggled to find a permanent home in the league after his return. He bounced around seven teams before eventually finding himself with Golden State and winning three NBA championships as a key role player. He finished his career with averages of 6.3 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in a 15-year career.
Meanwhile, Patrick Beverley has established himself as a defensive stalwart who can play with the best of them. Fans definitely remember the valiant performance he had against Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors during the playoffs.
Beverley has career averages of 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.2 steals. He's expected to be an important cog to the Clippers as they chase their first NBA championship with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
It's nice to see that Shaun Livingston is beloved by important figures all over the league. This bodes well for him if he ever decides to stick close to basketball and hold a coaching or front-office position.
